Ingredients for Mushroom-wrapped Meatballs For 2 people
Minced pork shoulder 500 gr Fresh straw mushrooms 200 gr Dry batter for frying 1 pack Cilantro/garlic/pepper roots 10 gr Cilantro 2 branches MSG 1/4 teaspoon Fish sauce 1/2 tablespoon Soy sauce 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce 1 tablespoon Cooking oil 500 ml Rice flour 20 gr (used to wash mushrooms)
How to choose fresh and delicious straw mushrooms
- Delicious straw mushrooms are those that are still in bud, round or cylindrical in shape, and when gently squeezed, feel slightly firm. You should choose mushrooms that are uniform in size for a more visually appealing and tastier dish. Black or gray straw mushrooms will taste better than the white ones. The color of the mushrooms should be bright, with a distinctive mushroom aroma.
- Do not choose if the mushrooms have a foul smell, are discolored, feel soft and mushy to the touch, or are overly large, as these indicate that the mushrooms have been stored for too long and are not fresh.

Prepare the straw mushrooms
Clean the dirt from the base of the straw mushrooms, soak them in water mixed with rice flour for 5 minutes, and rinse with clean water, then let them drain.
Proper way to prepare straw mushrooms:- Fresh straw mushrooms should have their stems cleaned. Rinse the mushrooms briefly with a mixture of water and rice flour, then prepare another bowl of water mixed with rice flour, soak the mushrooms fully for about 5 minutes, and rinse again with clean water.
- To prevent the mushrooms from losing moisture and to keep their crispness, do not wash and soak straw mushrooms in saltwater for too long.
-
Marinating the meat
Crush cilantro roots with garlic and peppercorns, then add this mixture to a large bowl with minced pork, chopped cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce.
Mix all the ingredients well and marinate for about 20 minutes for the meat to absorb the flavors.
-
Shaping
After marinating the meat, put on gloves, take a sufficient amount of meat and roll it into a ball, then flatten it, place a straw mushroom in the center of the meat, and roll it to encase the straw mushroom completely inside.
Repeat this process until all the prepared ingredients are used up.
-
Frying the meatballs
Roll the stuffed meatballs in a bowl of crispy frying flour so that the flour coats a thin layer evenly on the outside of the meatballs.
Place a frying pan on the stove, add 500ml of cooking oil, heat it until boiling, then reduce the heat to medium, and add the meatballs to fry. Stir frequently to ensure the meatballs cook evenly, frying until the meat turns golden brown with a slight crisp.
Remove the meat from the oil to drain, and wait for it to cool slightly before enjoying.
-
Final product
Mushroom-stuffed meatballs with a crispy soft outer layer, rich and flavorful, blending with delicious fresh mushroom filling, sweet and aromatic. You can enjoy it with lettuce, herbs, and dip in chili sauce or ketchup to enhance the flavor!
Tips for buying good pork
- Color: Fresh pork will have a dry skin layer, bright red color, and a slightly tightened surface. When cut, the meat will show a bright pink cross-section, with soft pink skin. The fat should be bright, firm, and have a characteristic aroma. The joint bones should be smooth and clear. The bone marrow should be tightly adhered to the bone wall and transparent.
- Elasticity: Press your finger into the meat and release it. If it does not leave a fingerprint, the meat bounces back quickly and has a pinkish-red color, then it is fresh; if the meat leaves a fingerprint, it is spoiled and should not be purchased!
- You can buy pre-ground or minced pork, or buy whole pork to grind yourself.
